Even at the ripe old age of 35 and not fully fit, Anthony Nwakaeme proved to be the spark for Trabzonspor to fight back from two goals down to salvage a draw at home with Kayserispor.
Nwakaeme, back in Turkey this season after a brief stint in Saudi Arabia, missed his team’s first four games due to injury.
